Ganz nah dran English translation
von Cassandra Steen

Mama, I don’t have time to dance
Later again, I promise you
No more time to dawdle around
That’s just not like me
The people here take things slow
They say, “Tomorrow is another day”
But I have my goal firmly in sight
And I won’t take a single step back

Because I’m so close
I’m so close
Everyone just thinks I’m crazy
I don’t care

I was often desperate, but that’s in the past
Nothing and no one can stop me now
Because I’m so close


I still remember how Father said:
“Sometimes fairy tales come true”
It’s in your hands
Only you can make it happen

I can see it in front of me and I’m sticking with it
I know I can make it
Wait a moment, here I come
Watch out, boys, make room for me

And I’m so close
I’m so close
Everyone will gather around me then
I’m so close
I’m so close

I was often so very desperate
But that’s in the past
Over the highest mountain, through the deepest valley
I’m so close
I’m so close
I’m so close
